Yeah Joe, I remember the older 2155 very well. I agree with part of what you said, it made a really great sound. But the examples I played were even worse out of tune (generally) than the ones they make now. To me it ended up looking like six of one, half dozen of the other. The older one made a better sound and had good response but had almost unmanageable intonation (for me). The new one has less intonation difficulties but not as good a sound and much worse response in the low register, at least in my hands.

Do you really think they did the redesign because they had to have piston valves on the horn? I sure hope that wasn't their thinking!

My opinion for what it's worth...
